A W I N N E’ R:
Mrs. T. L. Irby, Box 56,
McNary, has won $5. 00 this
week because her name was
drawn from the subscribers

day - maybe you will be
next week's winner.
Food store customers have grudgingly seen the price of toma-
toes reach for the stratosphere and have assumed it was just one
more vicious symptom of inflation. But judging by reports, there
is more behind the price of tomatoes than natural inflationary
forces. Until recently, the domestic tomato market was aug-
mented by imports from Mexico.
There are an estimated
23, 000 acres of land plant-
ed to tomatoes in the Sina-
loa-Sonora sections of Mexi-
co. The economy of this
region of our neighbor to
the South is heavily depen-
dent on the U. S. market—
a market that has now been
seriously curbed by a U. S.
government embargo on
Mexican tomatoes. The em-
bargo is working a hardship
on both U. S. consumers and
Mexican agricultural inter-
ests. While in Mexico tons
of carefully cultivated, vine
ripened fruit are being used
for cattle feed, U. S. house-
wives commonly pay 34 .
cents a pound for winter to-
matoes. In the words of
Senator Barry Goldwater of
Arizona, ".....there is no ■
longer any reason, econo-
mic or otherwise, for keep-
ing this embargo in force...
the price of tomatoes to the
American housewife is mov-
ing hither and the consump-
tion of tomatoes is being de-
pressed. ... I want to say
that we have nothing to
gain and a great deal to lose
by imposing trade restrict-
ions on a friendly neighbor.
This is the story behind
the high price of tomatoes
in.the local supermarket.
HEALTH OFFICIAL
PRAISES COMMUNITY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEETS THURSDAY
Dell Valley -Immediate
Past-President of the Dell
City Lions Club, Frank How-
ell, received the visit of
Field Consultant Wallace D.
Lawson from the Texas
State Department of Health
in connection with the op-
eration of the local ambu-
lance service.
Mr. Lawson had high
praise for the community
in general and for the Lions
Club for solving a difficult
problem encountered in the
field of health; the opera-
tion of an ambulance with
the myriad of details and
extremely expensive oper-
ating costs is considered
completely out of reach by
several counties in this gen-
eral area1 and our solution
to the problem will have far ,
reaching echoes. From the
many questions and surprised
reactions from the said con-
sultant, it seems that the
Dell City Ambulance will
be the object of serious stu-
dy by other communities
who do not have hospital
facilities, and that the or-
ganizers of the project may
well become advisers in
that field.
The fact that the ambu-
lance is operated on a do-
nation basis, that no speci-
fic charge for services is
made and that the Lions
Club has been making stea-
dy progress and has gained
the support of all has put
Dell City on the map of the
Texas Department of Health.
Latest donor to the Ambu-
lance Fund is Bob Temple-
ton who donated $20. 00. An
additional credit goes to Les
Foster for another $15.00.
Last week, it was stated that
Les had donated $15. 00. He
has donated $30. 00 total.

En Espanol
El asunto de la discrimina-
cion racial es de lo mas de-
licado que pueda haber. Asi
lo diria alguien a quien se
le acabara de presentar ese
problema y asi lo seguimos
diciendo quienes tenemos en
nuestro corazon el convenci-
miento de que ningun hom-
bre debe recibir trato infer-
ior al de los demas. Pero
tener sentimientos buenos es
una cosa y ponerlos en prac-
tice es otra.
Recordamos el caso aquel
que se present© un domingo
por la tarde en un hermoso
parque publico. Un amigo
mio y yo habiamos compra-
do una sandia con el antojo
propio de un di a ver ano,
como no las habia chicas
tuvimos que comprar una de-
ma si a do grande para dos y
despues de comer grandes
tajadas del dulce fruto que-
damos totalmente satisfechos
y en posesion de la mayor
parte de la sandia. En el
mismo parque y no lejos de
nosotros habia varias famil-
ias de diferentes razas, todas
con chiquillos, la cosa na-
tural era regalar la sandia y
yo viendo lo que se aproxi-
maba guarde silencio. Tai
y como lo suponia mi amigo
escogio a una familia de ra-
za negra para darles la san-
dia y cuando se disponia a
ir a llevarsela le pedi que
esperara un instante y le pre-
gunte porque no le daba la
sandia a la familia de raza
blanca que estaba mas cer-
ca de nosotros. La sorpresna
se reflejo en su rostro. En
efecto, no debi a haber ra-
zon alguna para no pregun-
tar a unos y a otros si la
querian, pero eso no se
puede hacer, asi que la
dulce, grande y roja sandia
fue al bote de la basura.
Hace poco tuve otra ex-
periencia parecida. En esta
ocasion se trataba de un sa-
jon que necesitaba que se le
prestasen varios utiles. Unos
estaban en un lugar y otros
en otro y mientras le indica-
ba donde los podia encontrar
se me ocurrio usar la frase
que en tono .de broma han
usado conmigo cuando la
situacion era a la inversa,
asi que con una gran natura-
lidad le dije "andale Pan-
cho vamonos". Inmediata-
mente nos envolvio tanto a
el como a mi un silencio
embarazoso y una sonrisa
dificil de sostener e impo-
sible de borrar. Sin embar-
go ahora tenemos debida-
mente valuada la dignidad
y ni el ni yo, estoy seguro,
volveremos jamas a apii-
car frases de dificil balan-
ce© entre personas de dif-
erentes razas y si asi deja-
mos la cosas por unos cin-
cuenta arios, ya no tendre-
mos que preocuparnos, pues
los dos seremos cadaveres.
